Speaking Practice
Practice speaking by recording yourself, replaying instantly, and hearing your real progress. ReSay helps you improve pronunciation, speaking confidence, and sentence-level output.
ReSay is already available on the App Store. The listing currently shows support for both iPhone and iPad and fits speaking practice through recording, instant playback, and take comparison.
ReSay is for recording yourself speaking Japanese and then listening back. The obstacle in speaking practice is rarely not knowing what to say — it is never having heard how you sound. What felt clear in your head is often something else on playback.
It has one deliberate rule: comments are video only, never text. To respond to someone else's practice you have to speak. That way interacting with other learners is itself practice, rather than a way around opening your mouth.
Keep your attempts and replay them days later. Progress is something you hear — the difference between last week and this week only shows up on playback.
You can only reply by recording. The rule sounds awkward and it is the point: every interaction in the community becomes another turn speaking.
Recordings are kept in order so you can go back and compare.
It is a deliberate product decision. Typing a reply is easy and does nothing for your speaking; requiring video makes the interaction part of the practice.
Anyone who can produce a full sentence. You do not need to be intermediate — recording example sentences from a textbook works perfectly well early on.
That one is input: grammar points laid out on a schedule with example sentences. ReSay is output — actually saying what you have learned. When your grammar is fine but nothing comes out, this is the missing half.
ReSay works best when paired with a shadowing method and a consistent textbook path.
